GREENSBURG, Pa., Nov. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- MyContractor.com, Inc., a leading nationwide full-service home improvement and remodeling company, today announced it has introduced a brand new full line of premium energy-saving vinyl replacement windows manufactured by Thermal Industries of Pittsburgh, PA.
The new specially-packaged "Energy Pane 700 Series" custom replacement windows are specifically produced for MyContractor.com by Thermal Industries and are being welcomed in the Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio markets as ultra high-performance, energy-efficient products -- designed for the local climate and precisely tailored for the window replacement needs of homes in the Tri-State area.
Numerous energy-saving features include: State-of-the-art triple-glazed glass; High-performance LoE2 Solarban(R) coatings (that helps heat in winter and cool in summer); Sealed air-spaces filled with Krypton gas; EPS foam fill in sash and frame; Foam wrap on frames; and Superior "Warm-Edge" design. This combined technology provides an impressive R9 insulating rate for glass areas and R4 per inch-of-frame that has earned "Energy Pane" windows the coveted Energy Star(R) label.
The new custom vinyl replacement window line features a full range of design options and configurations -- from Double Hung, Casement, Slider, Awning and Hopper styles to Bays, Bows, Garden windows and Slider Patio Doors. Design options include paintable/stainable vinyl laminate "wood-look" interiors, special decorative Dreamglas(R) panes and a wide selection of elegant hardware finishes.
"We are very pleased to offer this specially-packaged product that is tailored specifically for MyContractor.com customers in the Eastern U.S. market," states Chris Wagner, Regional Marketing Manager for Thermal Industries.
The new "Energy Pane" custom replacement window line is the first phase of the exciting full "Dream Home" program now being readied for introduction -- that will soon also feature Dream(R)Deck Vinyl and Composite Decking, Vinyl and Dreamglas(R) Rail Systems, DreamspacE(R) Patio Enclosures and custom Sunspaces -- all of which will be made available to Tri-State homeowners by MyContractor.com estimators and installers in January 2007.
